FMS Legacy Events Data Group

The "FMS Legacy Events Data" (GmrEvent) data group is used to send specific historical data to the FMS. It gets its data from the "Audit" support data group, which is hard-coded to support "FMS Legacy Events."

Events are identified by field device point ID number. A point ID number must resolve to an FMS Legacy data item for a specific meter run or for the field device (which includes all of its meter runs). Mapping between event data group elements and FMS Legacy data items occurs within the eventItems section of gmrMaps in the device template file.

When an event occurs, data groups in the device template file are searched for a data group element reference to a point ID number. Next, the gmrMaps section of the device template file is searched for an FMS Legacy data item reference to that data group element. If no data item is found, the event is recorded as device specific. Set the omitUnmpappedEvents attribute to "true" to override this behavior.

Specify date ranges on a per-data group basis within the device editor. For more information, see Selecting Date and Time.

FMS Legacy Events Data Group (DataGroup) Attributes

The following table describes "FMS Legacy Events" data group attributes. All attributes in CygNet templates are case sensitive; but the case sensitivity of attribute values is based on context.

For information about available generic attributes, see DataGroup.

Attribute	Description	Value	Required
omitUnmappedEvents	By default, point ID numbers that are not mapped to FMS Legacy data items are recorded as device-specific events. Set omitUnmappedEvents to "true" to override this behavior.	true or false	No
